HBR CALLS OUT TECH GIANTS like Facebook and Uber for “increasingly soliciting their users to take political action on their behalf to defend controversial business models from regulation, support new programs, and promote their moral values in active political battles.”

The bad news is that this is a terrible conflict of interest, given that you can get us to just about anything if you take advantage of our incredible mental laziness (also from HBR).

The good news is that this is really close to the plot of Neuromancer, so we have that to look forward to.

And to round out our contributions from HBR, this article about how to be “professionally personable on Facebook,” because nothing is sacred anymore.

And Fast Company had a great article about an app that teaches kids math and physics, and how their main learning in development was just because the tech CAN automate something doesn’t mean it SHOULD. (Tell that to DARPA, I suppose.)
